As a revenge killer, it won't need to OHKO anything so HP Fight is by far the better choice. As a sweeper, then it's just an accuracy vs power preference.

So really, it comes down to what you want Gengar to do. Sweep by itself (in which case, use Life Orb or Specs), or revenge kill (Scarf and HP Fight).

As for needing something to deal with dragons, STAB Shadow Ball will take care of revenge killing most, and Desitny Bond/Explosion can be used when all other options won't guarantee a KO. HP Ice does have the added benefit of hitting Zapdos, but it can take quite a beating from Gengar when it doesn't have Life Orb or Specs.

Oh, one other note on your now Scarf Gengar set: Most Scarf Gengars are Timid and used as starters. If your guy is coming out in the mid to late game, use a Modest nature instead. It gives it a bit more of a punch, and you won't have to worry about other Scarf Gengars.

My other concern is Salamence. Brick Break, as the sole physical attack, seems like a bit of a waste. Unless you're really worried about late game screens, I think any other physical attack would be better.

Gengar needs Focus Blast to effectively Revenge KILL the opponent. HP Fight is fail on a revenge killer, Focus Blast wins. HP Ice is needed anyways, so that knocks it out too.

Gengar needs Timid nature always to outspeed Gyarados after 1 DD, so never Modest :P

Agreed sort of on Brick Break. It's great to hit those screens, and to knock around walls too (Plus it is a solid attack anyways), it isn't the best in the world.
 
Thanks everyone for all ur help...I think I'm getting more and more help as time goes by...but now I feel pretty confident with this team thanks to all of ur comments, and posts, and thoughts...now I think it'll win me quite some battles out there out in the competitive field....if not, then I'm sure u'll be seeingme arounf with another RMT...lol
